Wait, what?
A woman from Manchester is blaming Wii Fit for turning her into a sex addict. 24-year-old Amanda Flowers fell off her balance board while playing Nintendo's blockbuster placebo and claims that the stumble somehow turned her into a nymphomaniac. Seriously.
Amanda claims that she craves sex at least ten times a day. The slightest vibration in the air will give her the horn, meaning that all she has to do is feel her phone and it's like Niagra Falls in her pants. According to Flowers, "It began as a twinge down below before surging through my body. Sometimes it built up into a trembling orgasm.
"With no cure I just have to try to control my passion by breathing deeply. Hopefully one day I’ll find a superstud who can satisfy me."
Sorry, what? How can this be a real person? She's talking as if she's one of those fake letters at the back of a porn mag. Nevertheless, if she really does have this problem, I know of a certain golfer who might be able to help her out. Two birds, one stone.

hahah, that was great ^
Your product (or realistically, my inability to use it) caused me, some how, to develop a completely unrelated disorder! Now I want some money!
I fell off my bike once and it gave me AIDs. I need to sue BMX for some backdated compensation.
(I don't really have AIDS)
Stupid people make me fucking sick. Get a job, or have some kids, either way you'll have enough money to not need to make stupid fucking claims like this.
Even I wonder if she's real or not!
Sounds like a hentai story.
also, why is it a called nymphomania when you're a woman and just being normal when you're a guy?
I mean, it's her own damn fault for being uncoordinated and using a balance board, but that doesn't mean she's faking.
@mistic
I believe that there's a similar condition that occurs in men just called by a different name.
But then it just wouldn't have that same Jim Sterling feel.
All of the stories published mention the wii fit fall as being the cause.

"She fell off a Wii Fit balance board and something terrible happened — she became a “sex addict.”

"Amanda Flowers, a catering worker in Manchester, needs 10 sex sessions a day - courtesy a fall from her Wii Fit board which turned her into a sex addict."
Jim didn't take anything out of context.
thanks, jim hahaha
Meh, as least Wii Fit wasn't blamed for their problem. If this happened in America, there would lawsuits already, and somehow Wii Fit would be linked to the Kennedy assassination or something. blah blah blah. Good' ol America.
As funny as PSAS sounds like, I've heard the syndrome is a nightmare to live with, leading many to want to commit suicide because orgasm doesn't relieve the person of their sensations, and it has a reverse effect in regards to intmacy with their spouse. ... O_o I watch too much TLC.
